Instrument Quality Air, Portable Compressors

INDUSTRIAL PROCESS

Cool, Clean,
Dry Compressed Air
for Industrial, Process and
Instrument Air Applications
Imagine this...a complete instrument air1
system, all in one package, that provides
clean, dry, portable compressed air with
no oil/water condensate waste. Too good
to be true? Not any longer. Ingersoll-Rand
imagined it; and only Ingersoll-Rand
made it happen, with the IQ SystemTM
Compressors.

CONSTRUCTION

Instrument quality Air1, never before

available from a standard rotary screw
portable air compressor without the
addition of bulky, skid-mounted filter/dryer
packages, now comes on wheels.
Totally self-contained. Completely portable.
And thats only the beginning.
The IQ SystemTM Compressors, ranging
in size from 300 to 1300 cfm, and up to
150 psi, offer versatility, performance and
features not found in any sophisticated oilfree compressor costing significantly more.

An absolute must for every rental

fleet, the IQ SystemTM Compressors
can switch from producing instrument
quality air to standard rotary screw
air and back again with a simple-tooperate valve system.

PAINTING
MANUFACTURING

The IQ SystemTM Compressors

can be used for abrasive blasting and
painting one day and provide clean,
dry air for instrument, process, and
manufacturing applications the
next day. Always with no worry
about environmental regulations
for condensate waste disposal.

senses buildup in the filters and will

automatically shut the unit down to
prevent any increase in oil carryover
exceeding the operating specifications.

Reliability, Redundancy,
Results
The IQ SystemTM Compressors solve
both the air quality and waste removal
problems inherent in standard rotary screw
compressors. Ingersoll-Rands IQ units all
feature an on-board aftercooler with a 20F
approach, a coalescing, dual filtration
system, and an exclusive, patented zero
discharge condensate removal system.

Condensate
Waste Removal
The IQ SystemTM Compressors feature a
patented condensate removal system that
injects the oil-water condensate waste into
the super hot engine exhaust, where it is
instantly flash evaporated. This eliminates
all concerns about safely and properly
collecting, treating and disposing of the
condensate waste. Whether youre producing
instrument quality air, or air for general
purposes, this feature saves the operator a
lot of time and money.

Ingersoll-Rands dual filter system with built

in monitoring and safety shutdown features
assures a consistent and reliable source of
high quality air. This two-switch, redundant
system provides an early warning indicator
when filters require maintenance. A pressure

Instrument Quality Air

The standards for instrument quality air are set forth
in the ISA-S7.0.01-1996 Quality Standard for Instrument Air.
Take a look at how Ingersoll-Rands IQ SystemTM Compressors
exceed the ISA standards.
ISA
Requirement
Particulate size
in the air stream

ISA
Standard
Less than 40
microns

IQ System
Performance
Less than 0.01
micron

Maximum oil
content

Less than 1
part per million

Oil and Water

aerosol removal to 0.01 ppm

Dew point

18 F below the
minimum temperature
to which air is exposed

An additional dryer, or connection

to existing plant system dryer, may be
needed to meet the dew point requirements
for the application

The compressed air produced will greatly exceed the particulate quality of the ambient air. The air
produced by the IQ SystemTM may actually be cleaner than oil-free air produced by dry screw
compressors, because the IQ SystemTM filters to a significantly better level than the standard intake
filters of other compressors. Additionally, the approach temperature of the IQ SystemTM is only 20F.
This eliminates significantly more moisture from the air when compared to the 50-100F approach
temperature of most oil-free compressors.
